Chapter 153: The Great War (1)
Qinchuan, the Great Marshal's Mansion.
It was the third watch, and the entire Marshal's Mansion was still brightly lit.
In Guo Wentong's study, the figure swayed.
"Hmph, what a Wang Hongyi, as Ben Shuai expected, this Wang Hongyi is a wolf in the end, if it weren't for Ben Shuai who has been training soldiers and horses, guarding against him, I'm afraid he would have to ride for him!" Guo Wentong walked back and forth in the room, and when he sat back, his face was still angry.
"Lord, Wang Hongyi is already very ambitious, and we have expected today's events for a long time, and now that Wang Hongyi has led an army of 50,000 to Hanzhong, we can only prepare to fight. Chang Huaiyuan said slowly, raised his eyes and looked at Guo Wentong: "It's only cheaper to go to the end......
"Who is cheaper?" Guo Wentong frowned and asked Chang Huaiyuan.
"Wang Hongyi seized the entire Shu land, called Shu Guogong, which actually means expansion, non-Qin Chu (Jing), before Jingzhou and Wu Yue have been vigilant, and now attack my Qin land, have obtained the opportunity to develop. ”
"The minister thought that Wang Hongyi led 50,000 Shu troops to Hanzhong, and they would not have not gotten the news about this, but they were afraid that they would wait for the confrontation between the two armies of Qin and Shu, and they would wait for an opportunity to develop, and if there was a chance, they would benefit from the scum. Chang Huaiyuan said slowly.
"Wei Yue, the king of Wu, is a powerful person, but in just one year, the court has been completely hollowed out, and then the five towns are pacified, and the king of Wu will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
Guo Wentong's face sank, thinking of the situation in Wuyue Jingzhou, Guo Wentong felt a little depressed in his heart.
Want to fisherman oyster?
Jokes, with him, they don't want to be happy!
In Guo Wentong's view, Wang Hongyi led the Shu army to approach Qinchuan this time, which also had the impetus of Wei Yue.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court gave Wang Hongyi a map of Qinchuan and gave him the title of King of Qin, how could it catalyze the contradictions between the two places and cause the current situation?
Wei Yue's move, even though it has the meaning of diverting contradictions, has the meaning of parrots competing with each other and scum profiting.
In Guo Wentong's eyes, the murderous aura was fully revealed.
"The lord has newly acquired Liangchuan County, and his strength has increased compared with last year, and he is waiting for work, and the 30,000 Qin army may not be able to block the attack of the 50,000 Shu army. In terms of terrain, even if Wang Hongyi has a map of Guanzhong, how can he compare with the native Qin soldiers Although Wang Hongyi has many advantages, Qinchuan may not all be disadvantages...... "Chang Huaiyuan's words made Guo Wentong's face soften slightly.
"According to Huaiyuan's meaning, the Shu army is not to be afraid?"
"Although the strength of the Shu army is strong, the Qin army is not weak, and the lord must not lose his fighting spirit at this time!" Chang Huaiyuan said persuasively.
"What Huaiyuan said is extremely true! This commander will definitely go all out in this battle, and will never empty the morale of others, destroy his own prestige, and see the difference on the battlefield!" Guo Wentong nodded.
"It's not early, please rest early, and the minister will retire. Chang Huaiyuan bowed to Guo Wentong and slowly retreated.
Chang Huaiyuan withdrew, and there was no one else in the study.
Guo Wentong róu róu Muyang xùe, only felt tired, he was already nearly fifty years old, his physical strength was not as good as before, the previous accident, Guo Wentong was shocked to be a transfer of troops, to relax, only felt physically and mentally exhausted, fortunately, there was Chang Huaiyuan for his own advice, otherwise, a few days and nights of sleep could not be stable, Guo Wentong even estimated that it would be difficult for him to support it.
Now there is no one else in the study, and Guo Wentong doesn't have to support it, and his fatigue is full.
Looking back on the first half of his life, what a beautiful scenery, and now he still looks strong, can pull a big bow, can fly eagles, can eat and drink, but compared to when he was young, it is much worse.
His time is running out, compared to Wang Hongyi Xiǎo'er in Shudi, he is almost half cut into the ground, this contrast makes him feel sad in his heart.
The world is big, the princes are strife, maybe this is the best and last chance for his own rise, such an opportunity, Guo Wentong must take a risk!
With a light sigh, Guo Wentong stood up and walked out of the study.
On the first of February, the weather, yīn, was full of dark clouds. Bu, fierce.
It has been a few days since Wang Hongyi led the Shu army to Hanzhong.
Although the 50,000 Shu troops were stationed outside the city of Hanzhong, they did not move, which made the private undercurrents of local forces surge. First of all, the whole city of Chengdu was secretly investigated, and the detailed works found out were all arrested and put in prison.
Wu Yue Jingzhou is no longer stupid, but they just dive deeper.
Almost all the forces are paying attention to the battles of the Shu and Song armies.
Shu and Qinchuan are both rich lands, and they are very important strategically, and if they can be damaged due to this battle, if their strength is weakened, it will be quite beneficial to other princes.
And if someone unifies Qin and Shu, it will be restored to the situation when Qin State dominated the world.
Outside the city of Hanzhong, in the camp, Wang Hongyi sat in his tent, holding a pen and writing something on white paper, and there were attendants standing quietly next to the tent.
Wang Hongyi's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, although it cannot be compared with the calligraphy of the world, it can definitely be regarded as a good hand.
After brushing down and writing a few large articles, Wang Hongyi put away the pen, stood in front of the table, very satisfied, received the papers aside, Wang Hongyi sat down again, and began to read the documents sent from Chengdu Mansion.
Although Wang Hongyi asked Yu Liangbo to decide everything by himself, Yu Liangbo still asked for instructions on major matters, and after the usual affairs were handled, he wrote a document and reported it to Wang Hongyi to know.
Putting these letters aside, and chōu took out a letter from his family in the NV book, Wang Hongyi opened the letter and quickly read the contents of the letter.
The letter was written by Song Xinyou, but he simply talked about the New Year in the palace, and said that the old lady was in good health, Su'er and Zhao Wan were as usual, and the son of Xiǎo at home missed his father very much, and said a lot.
"It's very literate. Wang Hongyi admired softly.
Song Xinyou is worthy of being the NV son of a big family, and his literary attainments are very good, just a simple paragraph, he described the New Year's situation at home as if it was on paper.
Wang Hongyi read the letter, picked up the pen, and prepared to write a reply letter back.
In less than a moment, a piece of paper was written, Wang Hongyi waited for the ink to dry slightly, folded the paper and sealed it, and instructed the sergeant to send it back to Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible.
At the same time, there is also a document approval.
In the situation in Chengdu, Wang Hongyi already knew that Yu Liangbo was staying there, and Wang Hongyi was very relieved.
"Lord!" Just as Wang Hongyi was thinking about this, a voice sounded sharply outside his tent.
Wang Hongyi raised his head and saw Zhang Youzhi standing at the mouth of the mén with a smile on his face.
"It turns out that Zhang Qing is coming in!" he smiled and beckoned.
Zhang Yuzhi walked into the tent from outside, saluted and said, "I came just now, and when I saw that the lord had been busy with affairs, the minister didn't come in." ”
"It's just to read some documents from Chengdu, sit down, for what's the matter. Wang Hongyi put down the pen and said, his tone was very gentle.
Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi are his confidants, and they will have the intention of entrusting the cabinet in the future, which is naturally not the same as usual.
In private, Zhang Youzhi also seemed much more relaxed, Wang Hongyi asked him to sit down, and he found a place closer to Wang Hongyi's position and sat down.
"My lord, the minister wants to know what the lord plans to do next. Zhang Youzhi said slowly: "As far as the minister knows, the lord just intends to contain everyone's attention and buy time for General Fan and Zhang Dudu, so as to achieve the effect of attacking the east and the west." The 50,000 soldiers stayed in Hanzhong for a few days, and the minister found that the lord did not really have no intention of attacking Qinchuan, but he kept his troops still, and he did not know what the lord was planning?
Wang Hongyi smiled: "Zhang Qing expected it to be good, Lone sent troops this time, it is indeed not that he did not have the intention of attacking Qinchuan Lone to Hanzhong, it is normal to renovate for two days, and the next step is to attack to attract everyone's attention...... And it's virtual and real, is it really attacking Qindi when you arrive, or is it just for show...... It can only be said that random should be ............
"Report!" suddenly a sergeant and thief appeared outside the tent.
"What's the matter?" Wang Hongyi asked.
"Back to the Lord, the hundred households of the thirteen divisions asked to see him. ”
"Let him in. ”
"No. ”
After a while, the hundred households of the Thirteen Divisions came in from outside, and it was not surprising to see that Zhang Youzhi was also here
"My lord, the minister retired first. Zhang Youzhi withdrew.
Wang Hongyi did not stop him, but asked the following hundred households: "But there is a military report from General Fan and Zhang Dudu?"
"Lord, General Fan has led his subordinates to arrive at the foot of Shangyong City, and sent back with carrier pigeons, Zhang Dudu's warship is said to have been fought because it is on the river, and the specific situation is unknown. The man of the Thirteenth Division replied.
"Guo Toutong, can you make a move?"
"Lord, 30,000 troops have been mobilized from all over Qin, and the weapons of the army are all jīng...... Liangchuan County has closed the city and forbade the people to enter and leave, there are at least 5,000 defenders in the city, and the defender is Guo Wentong's confidant Xu Yu, who is very brave and good at fighting!"
"Xu Yu?" Wang Hongyi has some impressions of this person, this person is known for his bravery, a pair of double hammers, wielded it, almost rain or shine, and don't look at this person's rude appearance, he is really thick and fine, and he is the best among the brave generals.
Xu Yu came to guard this Liangchuan County, even if there is a boulder machine in this county, I am afraid that when I enter the city, I still need fierce street battles, which is what Wang Hongyi does not want to see.
"What about Xiangyang?
The strategic position of Xiangyang is very important.
"Xiangyang is an upper-class mén household, with Ruluo in the north, Qinshu in the west, Huguang in the south, and Wuyue in the east. ”
"In the words of the world, it is important to focus on Xiangyang...... "Xiangyang has been a place for soldiers since ancient times, on the earth, the three kingdoms fought for Jingzhou, and the Wu people could not get Xiangyang, leading the troops of Jiangling to attack Wei, and broke under Xiangyang.
Zheng Pingyuan got Jiangling, not because he didn't want to break Xiangyang, in fact, Xiangyang was a strong town, Beichang was also a general, and Shangyong was also under his control, and the soldiers had enough food to support 40,000 soldiers.
It's just that Jingzhou is too close to the imperial court, and it is impossible for the imperial court to unify Jingzhou, ten or twenty years earlier, Sun Chang was under the authority of the imperial court, and only captured two counties, which could not be unified, and now the imperial court is declining, and it is old again, and there is no such jīng force.
Time also, fate also, how many heroes have been trapped by time fate and lost the opportunity of Jackie Chan.
Thinking about it, Wang Hongyi abandoned the thirteen divisions and hundreds of households, sat in the tent, and thought about the next steps.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Wang Hongyi issued an order to let the Shu army bury the pot and prepare for the march.
At the same time, this movement of the Shu army was known and spread to the Marshal Mansion of Qindi, Wuyue and Jingzhou respectively.
